- presented in message boards in public places like the Forum of Rome.
- filled place of modern newspaper-type publication and government gazette.
- many academic periodicals have acta in their titles.
- introduced expression 'publicare et propagare', meaning "make public and propagate." It was set at end of the texts and proclaimed a release to both Roman citizens and non-citizens.John Crawfordhttps://plus.google.com/114750963194467781205noreply@blogger.comBlogger105125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423833432823365366.post-46208513671387024712014-09-12T19:27:00.001-07:002014-09-12T19:46:51.701-07:00Ioh Meets Blue Anew
Ioh Meets Blue Anew
Theme: Pump
An RP I happened upon at the Midian Bunker a while back. Yes, I do remember Blue, and I think I remember about the time that I met her. And if I remember correctly, Beast was the one who first mentioned to her. Not sure, but I just might have the old RP of their first meeting buried somewhere.

Began as a melody that popped into my mind after choir practice. The cello has the initial melody. From there, a sort of round and various counterpoints formed. Then the drums filled it out with a sort of 18th or 19th century sort of cadence. I swear, I haven't listened to Gorges Bizet in a while. Though 'Carmen' is a pretty cool opera. <.<
